Abstract

A series of novel 1,3,5-triazine derivatives bearing various aryl amine, 2-amino pyrazine and 4-hydroxy coumarin moieties as substituents have been synthesized by an easy and conventional method using sequential nucleophilic substitution of chlorine atoms of cyanuric chloride. The reaction of cyanuric chloride with 4-hydroxy coumarin in acetone using alkaline medium at 0-5°C was afforded compound 3 in good yield. Followed by reaction 3 with 2-amino pyrazine and then various aromatic amines have afforded target compounds 6a-n in good yields. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by using spectroscopic analysis and then examined for their ability to inhibit the two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and one fungal species (Aspergillus niger) for biological interest.

Introduction

Coumarin derivatives have played a pivotal role in medicinal chemistry due their broad biological properties [1]. Among the various coumarin derivatives, 4-hydroxy coumarins are potential in therapeutic applications such as anticancer [2], antimalarial [3], antifungal [4], antiviral [5], anticoagulants [6]. They have yielded important results as antibiotics (Novobiocin) [7], anti-AIDS agents (Calanolides) [8] and antitumor drugs (Gelparvarin) [9]. Some of these drugs derived from 4-hydroxycoumarin have been thoroughly investigated [10]. Pyrazine derivatives possess a broad spectrum of biological activity and fulfill an important function in animal metabolism [11] and also other applications [12,13]. These compounds are also used as spasmolytic drug [14] in several countries, fluorescent brightener, efficient laser dye, standard for fluorometric determination of enzymatic activity, as a starting material for the preparation of insecticide [15], as precursor for furano coumarins and many other derivatives of substituted coumarins and analytical reagents [16].

Nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds plays a significant role in the field of biological and medicinal among them 1,3,5-triazine skeleton is more interesting structure and has a wide variety of interesting applications in numerous fields [17]. Various derivatives of s-triazine show antimicrobial [18,19], antifungal [20], antitumor [21] and herbicidal [22] activities. Some are also used for the treatment of HIV infection [23]. Several workers investigated the s-triazine nucleus in the scope of potential therapeutic agents for diseases due to bacteria, malaria and cancer [24]. The above literature survey led us to consider the s-triazine nucleus as a core scaffold. It has been reported that s-triazine derivatives are used as templates for molecular imprinting [25] and for the construction of three-helix bundle protein [26].

It has been extensively reported that the presence of 4-hydroxy coumarin and pyrazine moieties in 1,3,5-triazine may enhance their biological activity [27-31]. Thus keeping in mind the tremendous biological potential of cyanuric chloride, 4-hydroxy coumarin and pyrazine derivatives motivated us to develop an easy and clean route for construction of novel triazine derivatives and examined their biological activity.

Results and Discussion

The triazine frame of cyanuric chloride can be conveniently manipulated by the sequential displacement of its chlorine atoms by oxygen and nitrogen containing nucleophiles in presence of acid scavenger. It is a temperature controlled and a step wise process. Initially, reaction of cyanuric chloride with 4-hydroxy coumarin was carried out using acetone as solvent at 0-5°C in alkaline medium to yield 4-((4,6-dichloro-1,3,5- triazin-2-yl)oxy)-2H-chromen-2-one. Further, the reaction of compound 3 with 2-amino pyrazine was achieved using acetone as solvent and K2CO3 as base at room temperature. To synthesize desired compounds, the reaction of various aryl amines with 4-((4-chloro-6-(pyrazin-2- ylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)oxy)-2H-chromen-2-one was carried using THF under reflux condition and then poured onto crushed ice to yield the desired products which were then crystalized out using chloroform (Scheme 1).

Proton present at position 3 of coumarin appeared at 6.43. NH proton at 8.97 and NH of aromatic aniline was appeared at 9.95 which resemble to the formation of trisubstituted 1,3,5-triazine. The IR signals of C=O and NH were observed at 1725 and 3432 cm-1, respectively. The physical properties of newly synthesized compounds are depicted in Table 1. Among the synthesized compounds, some compounds have been screened for their antimicrobial activity and data are shown in Table 2.

Table 2: Antimicrobial activity of selected compounds

Antimicrobial activity

Microorganisms In the experiments five microorganisms were used. This group included Two Gram-positive bacteria: Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, Two Gram negative bacteria: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa for antibacterial activity as well as Antifungal activity Fungi Aspergillus niger was used for culture conditions Nutrient agar or broths (Himedia PVT Ltd.) were used for bacterial cultivation. Before the experiments, all bacteria were subculture on fresh media and then incubated for 24 hours in temperature 30°C (P. aeruginosa and S. aureus) and 37°C (remaining bacteria). A. niger culture was inoculated in Potatoes dextrose agar than spore suspension was made by using tween 80 surfactant. Next, suspensions of microorganisms in saline\Tween 80 water were prepared and their density was established at a level of 0.5 according to McFarland Standard.

Determination of antimicrobial activity Antimicrobial activity of aqueous solutions of substrates and products of chemical synthesis was determined by well diffusion assay. Suspensions of microorganisms were overlaid with agar media and after medium solidification; the wells (10 mm in diameter) were cut with sterile cork borer. To the wells 100 μl of substrates and surfactants solutions were introduced. The plates were incubated for 24 h at the temperature of 30°C or 37°C depending on the indicator microorganism.

After incubation the diameter of inhibition zones were measured in millimeters. Tests were performed in triplicate and the mean values are presented.

Conclusion

We have demonstrated an easy and conventional method for the synthesis of novel 4-hydroxy coumarin and 2-amino pyrazine bearing 1,3,5- triazine derivatives with good to high yields. The present process comprises easy and clean workup which gave desired product with good purity. Among all compounds, six compounds were screened against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi and examined zone of inhibition. Compound 6e was found active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. However, all compounds have moderate inhibition against fungi A. niger.
